You can add additional resources, groups or users to have explicit NTFS permissions to access this object, or you can edit or remove the NTFS permissions granted to a resource, group, or user on the object. For the access limitations for each set of NTFS permissions, see File and Folder Permissions.

Inherited permissions are those that are propagated to an object from a parent object. Inherited permissions ease the task of managing permissions and ensure consistency of permissions among all objects within a given container. For more information about the effects of inherited permissions, see How Inheritance Affects File and Folder Permissions [Preliminary].
